Correct Answer: 75 : 28


Solution : Let the salaries of Kabir and Vicky as K and V, respectively.
Given that the salaries of Kabir and Vicky are in the ratio 5 : 2.
So, $\frac{K}{V} = \frac{5}{2}$
If increments of 20% and 12% are allowed in their salaries, then the new salaries of Kabir and Vicky will be 1.2K and 1.12V, respectively.
Now, $\frac{1.2K}{1.12V} = \frac{1.2}{1.12} \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{15}{14}\times \frac{5}{2}= \frac{75}{28}$
Hence, the correct answer is 75 : 28.
